Yes I agree with you, and you are very correct as IMO that is the way it should be.


You bring up an interesting perspective on opinions. Society has seemingly changed vastly in this regard as it used to be considered prudent that if you did not have factual knowledge about a topic, then you listened and observed to learn without opening your mouth. It seems that folks seem compelled today to make erroneous statements about topics they really have no knowledge of just for the sake of being heard, -and if they are called out on it they defend their actions by saying it is their opinion (-which evidently justifies or validates it as being correct). This mindset is extremely rampant on social media sites where misinformation is spewed from the fingers of self-proclaimed experts, and those participants are not truly interested in correct information as it is more about how many viewers they can attract. I have been a part of Fordbarn since Gus first developed it, and there was a time when folks that repeatedly gave misinformation was not tolerated. Ironically most of the knowledgeable people here have left due to comments by the ones who repeatedly posted without knowing what they were talking about. Therefore I am in favor of folks correcting folks who are posting misinformation as that kind of information has no benefit to the hobby.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

The world is changing. Up is now down and down is now up.

Knowledge! At one time it was important.
